because of the current fame OF its
superior style and quality. ThoS who
have been privileged to hear the opera
are not only loud in their praise OF 1t,
but universally predict that it will be a
genuine sensation in musical circles.
The last rehearsal, which was a full
dress affair, occurred last evening. A
number of prominent st. Paul people
who are patrons of the art divine were
in attendance by invitation. To de-
scribe the rehearsal would be almost to
anticipate the Monday night perform
ance. 1t is safe to say that not one who
was in attendance last night will fail to
see the opera when it is produced in its
full glory.
